  ●Use multiple authorization storage providers.
  ●Plug in business rules for action validation.
  ●Map multiple identities to a single user.
  ●Access profile information that can be stored in multiple profile stores.

The new version includes updated functionality based on customer feedback, as well as improved extensibility, ease of use, and consistency and integration with other blocks in Enterprise Library. The application block you have requested is still available for download but is now considered as an archive release.
